Cranberry Turkey Meatballs

Have you ever looked in your freezer and realized that you’ve created quite the collection of random meat, gluten-free flours, frozen fruit, and nuts/seeds?

That’s the story of my life right now. Everywhere I turn there are unopened bags of products that I’d purchased months before with the intention of using, or under the assumption that we were out, only to get home and realize we have 3 of the same thing.

I call that a grocery list fail.

In an attempt to clear a little space for the Thanksgiving turkey; Canadian thanksgiving is next weekend, I’ve been trying to come up with recipes using the stuff we have instead of going grocery shopping. Right now our house is filled with:

Dried cranberries

Raisins

Dried currants

Ground turkey

Ground chicken

Blackstrap molasses

Palm sugar (galore!)

Date syrup

Mayonnaise

Apple Cider Vinegar

Rice

Vegetable and chicken bouillon

Rice flour

Almonds

Walnuts

I could go on, but it would result in a ridiculously long list. Needless to say, we’ve got everything. As a result of this exercise, our weekly grocery bill has slashed in half!

Ok so I ended up making a triple batch (lots of company plus I like leftovers hehe) I took out all the egg whites and replaced it with 5 tbsp of ground flax and 10 tbsp hot water to make an egg replacer and they turned out great! Looking forward to enjoying them for lunch again tomorrow. Thanks for all your amazing recipes and making my life so much easier!

I found your podcast just before I decided to try Keto. I was on my way home from a weekend in Boston and was driving back to NJ (February 2017) I listed to your podcast the entire ride and not only did I learn so much about Keto but I was fully inspired. I continue to eat Keto and listen to every podcast every week; it continues to inspire and teach me. I have lost 17 pounds and truly upped my game when in comes to my work outs — keto (and Leanne) have changed my life.

I have listened to all of your podcasts and YouTube videos over the past couple of weeks and both books as well. To tell the truth, I am on my 4th listening of Fat Fueled! I truly enjoy learning from someone who is so enthusiastic yet accepting of how different we all are from each other with “All Of The Things!”

I’m new to the keto diet and am so grateful I’ve found healthfulpursuit.com– down to earth, approachable, holistic, but most of all, speaking to women’s specific needs. I find the lack of shame and the use of real food to be refreshing. Thank you for being a rational, reasonable voice. It’s the honesty that caught my eye.

I just purchased your book The Keto Diet. I am super excited to dig into the Keto lifestyle. After trying low-carb, low-fat dieting and Weight Watchers, I am confident that Keto is the answer. I appreciate your videos and content!

 Lizzette

I have been subscribing to the meal plans for a few months now, and I just have to say, THANK YOU for offering this service. It is everything I ever wanted in a food plan and more. I love that I don’t have to think about my grocery list or what I am going to eat because it’s all already laid out and all I have to do is shop and cook! For me, it is just perfect.

Leanne Vogel’s approach to Keto and overall health is exactly what I’ve been searching for. I’d tried a strict approach to Keto for tweaking body composition after having been Paleo for a few years, but it didn’t work for me. Having had food sensitivities forever, new digestive issues began to emerge due to hormonal changes, so I began carb-ups with success! I’m once again golden in the gym, my hair is staying on my head instead of circling the drain and I’m on my way to regaining control of my digestive health. There’s a ton of information out there, but Leanne’s attention to how WOMEN respond to a Ketogenic lifestyle is not only refreshing, but life-changing.

I’m loving The Keto Beginning Audiobook. I’m excited to order your upcoming book this spring! Thank you for your wealth of experience and positive attitude. I love your podcasts and articles.

I’m about to start keto and your sites have been very helpful in my research! I enjoy the videos and the podcasts. I like that you explain the pros and cons of everything and that you choose carefully which products to share and tell us how helpful they were to you. Basically, I appreciate how thorough you are! Thank you!

I am a 64-year-old, overweight, prediabetic, worn out, stressed out, etc. woman who just discovered Leanne on YouTube. After two weeks on Leanne’s version of ketoI can relax, be balanced, have fun, and best of all stick to this way of eating that is going to change my life.

I recently started eating keto through a competition at my gym. It involved a strict meal plan which included lots of eggs, bacon, cheese, heavy cream, fat bombs, etc. (and an exogenous ketone supplement… yuck.) I quickly realized this was just not the plan for me because the hunger was real, my body’s response to dairy was real and my fat loss results plateaued. After a lot of online research, I found Leanne’s YouTube videos and devoured dozens. I subscribed to the 3-month meal plan and bought The Keto Diet book. After 1 week of the meal plan, I have broken through the plateau and lost 4lbs and 2% body fat. Even though that’s great, the best thing is the yummy food, no dairy in my life anymore, and I feel full and do not want to eat my arm off at the end of the day. Now all my gym friends who are in the challenge are curious about what and I was able to convince several others to buy your book. You have majorly impressed me and I believe what you’re doing is more than clinical and not a one-size-fits-all canned plan. I look forward to making this journey my way of life and engaging with your plan every step of the way!

I just wanted​ to send you a message telling you how much I enjoy listening to your podcast. I found you on Instagram right as I decided to try keto. You have been so inspirational and I have learned so much from you. I tell my friends that I binge listened to your podcast because I listened to every episode since April this year, and I have enjoyed every one of them. I listen to them mostly while I’m running and get to the end of my run without even realizing it because I have been so focused on the information I’m hearing. I also wanted to tell thank you for the quality of the content that you share. I just wanted to share with you that I have enjoyed your show from the beginning but now that I’m caught up and trying to find another show I realized just how much I enjoyed it. Thank you for all you do for this community.

 Jamie

I started keto after stumbling across Leanne’s YouTube channel. So far, I’m down 20 pounds in 1.5 months. The best part is I have a ton of energy and no more brain fog! Thank you for all you do!

 Brandi

Leanne was a breath of fresh air and helped me realize that perfection isn’t necessary or healthy. I finally stepped away from MyFitnessPal, my Fitbit, my Ketonix, my labs, the scale, and actually started to care about what I was missing out on in the pursuit of “optimum health” and achieving a desired thinness. I’m still working on developing relationship with my body, food, fasting, and fitness — it’s a work in progress that I truly think I can achieve thanks to Leanne’s help.

You. Are. AMAZING! I have been struggling for years with health issues (joint pain, fatigue, weight gain, skin issues, depression, anxiety… the list goes on). I have been gluten free for over a decade and started Paleo three years ago. I have listened to paleo podcasts for years and continued to tweak my diet, hoping for a solution to my health problems. Paleo helped a bit but I still had all of the issues, just to a lesser degree. After being diagnosed with hypothyroidism, I tried autoimmune paleo and finally came across your podcast. I immediately went “keto” and within 3 days I had ENGERY, I could THINK, I was no longer depressed! I am now 3 weeks in and couldn’t wait any longer to let you know how thankful I am for you and your work. Not only is the content life changing, but you present it in such an easily digestible way. You are open and so thorough that you literally answer all of the questions I have before I can ask them. I could say so much more… but for now. Thank you for all you do!
